King of Croatia said:Well,Istria is now a part of Croatia and the number of Croatians was always over 90% there,Ragusa and Bosnia were parts of Croatia until they broke away in the 12th century,I think,so they were under Croatian rule for five centuries and the names of their rulers were Croatian because there were Croatians,as for Steiermark it was inhebitet by Croatians when we came there in the 7th century,and today's Sloveniens were originaly Croatians,but because of them mixing with Germans and German cultural influence they are what they are today and you could hardly notice they are Slav or were Slavs.
And Hive can you please change the name of Ragusa to Dubrovnik,Zara to Zadar and Trieste to Trst?
Dubrobnik/Ragusa was independent until the Napoleonic era. It wasn't part of Croatia. Still Croatia ought to have a core on Dubrovnik as the city didn't control much territory. But that's only IF "Ragusa" province represents Dubrovnik/Ragusa . However on the map the province is a lot further down the Adriatic than Dubrovnik is (just check any map). So that one is a question of interpretation.
It's not true that Istria is now a part of Croatia. Most of it is in Croatia, but the northern section is in Slovenia. Still the EU province extends an awful long way down the Adriatic, so it seems to me that Croatia certainly should have a core on one or the other of Ragusa/Istria.
Steiermark is also a question of interpretation. Does it represent Stryria, Carinthia, Carniola, or some other part of the area. Whether Croatia gets a core rather depends on the answer to that question IMHO.
The inhabitants of Dubrovnik in 1419 still called in Ragusa AFAIK.
And the town of Trieste was not part of Croatia in the EU period, it was attached to Styria/Steiermark, and as such wasn't even under the Hungarian crown. As such I think that the German name makes as much sense as the Croatian name.
